Pearcy seeks to intimidate Bloggers

I have just received a phone call today at about 12:15 pm from Mr. Stephen Pearcy regarding this blog which I wrote March 9, 2005 about Mr. and Mrs. Pearcy who hung a soldier in effigy (twice) from the eaves of their home in Land Park in Sacramento. I also noted with links vulgar statements posted on Mr. Pearcy’s car.

In the call I received from Mr. Pearcy, he informed me that I am guilty of a “tortious interference with a business relationship” because I suggested that people who didn’t like her private actions could email her employer.

I asked him if he was contemplating a potential cause of action against me. Yes, if warranted, he responded in approximate terms.

But looking over my blog on the matter, I am hard pressed to find an instance to support his claim other than this:

“I suggest you contact them and let them know what you think of their employee as I did in this email I sent to both:”

If this is illegal speech in California as Pearcy claims then I am indeed in trouble, but I find an action for this far fetched. Nevertheless, I appeal to all and sundry for expertise in the matter.

Diggers Realm points out that the Pearcys have put up an effigy of a soldier for the third time now.

"Free speech for me but not for thee"

(Like their employer didn't know what they were up to? These people need to get a grip on reality.)

Nonconformists travel as a rule in bunches. You rarely find a nonconformist who goes it alone. And woe to him inside a nonconformist clique who does not conform with nonconformity.

What I'm hoping to find is some definitive legal advice so I can blow the fellow away. I know he's full of it, but it helps to have all the facts lined up.
